My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 1896 - 1890: Withdraw Coco Wadsley

She has the day off anyway.

Joanna Lawrence wanted to take it easy.

"The Marriage Tree?"

"Yeah, that Marriage Tree has been around for over a hundred years. Making a wish there is said to be quite effective. We’ve got nothing else to do, let’s go take a look."

Ashton Heath never really believed in these things.

But even if it was superstition, if going there could solidify his relationship with Joanna Lawrence even more, he was willing to give it a try.

"Alright," he lowered his head to look at Joanna Lawrence, her face turning to rest on his shoulder as she whispered in a soft voice, warming his heart. A hint of a smile crept up on his face, "Let’s go now."

Joanna Lawrence hooked her fingers around his slender digits, playfully shaking his hand, "Yeah, let’s go!"

From a nearby building.

Frank Parker, whose face was somber as he watched through the window on the second floor, watched as the couple slowly walked away hand in hand. His eyes darkened.

The aura around him abruptly grew colder, startling the person sitting across from him.

That person, both flustered and careful, asked, "Mr. Parker, did I overlook or mess up something making you unhappy?"

Frank Parker slowly turned away from the window.

He responded in a cold voice, "Did you do what I asked you to do?"

The person opposite him quickly replied respectfully, "I dispatched that task right away after your instruction, Mr. Parker. Don’t worry, he won’t be back."

"Good." Frank Parker’s eyes flashed with a cruel glint, "Make sure he is ’taken care’ of properly."

"Yes, sir."

The waiter brought up the food they had ordered. Just as he placed it on the table, Frank Parker had already stood up to leave.

The person opposite him was taken aback but quickly stood up as well.

Since Frank Parker was standing, he dared not sit.

He carefully asked, "Mr. Parker, are you...?"

The scene he had seen earlier played again in Frank Parker’s mind.

That sight pricked his heart like a thorn, the slightest movement of his breath causing him pain.

He didn’t want to think about it, yet he couldn’t help it.

Like an act of self-torment, he played that scene over and over in his mind.

Without uttering a word, he turned around and walked away. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The man beside him hesitated, contemplated following him, but dared not to.

When the director of "The Meaning of Travel" got the news, their first reaction was outrage, "Is Coco Wadsley being replaced? Do you know what a drastic impact replacing a guest at the last minute has on a show? All the filming in the past few days goes to waste. This seriously hampers the progress of the program group and the work schedule of all the guests!"

"Do you know how much all these losses amount to?"

"Unless you provide a reason that I find absolutely convincing, I will not agree."

A while later, the director’s face gradually changed.

"What? The President of the Heath Group? This is his wish?"

"Alright, I understand. I’ll have someone inform Coco Wadsley immediately."

After hanging up, the director was still reeling from the shock and it took a moment to recover.

She was the director of "The Meaning of Travel."

A final say in guest selection always rested with her.

So, even when requested by the Station Director to dismiss Coco Wadsley, she didn’t immediately give her consent.

An unexpected dismissal of a guest can greatly impact a program. If there wasn’t a special circumstance, she wouldn’t agree to it.

She was shocked when she found out that this decision was made by the President of Heath Group, the same person who purchased the broadcasting rights for "The Meaning of Travel."
